Season 1

Annalise Keating is a prominent criminal defense attorney and law professor at Middleton University in Philadelphia. She selects five students to intern at her firm: Wes Gibbins, Connor Walsh, Michaela Pratt, Asher Millstone, and Laurel Castillo. They work with Annalise's employees, Frank Delfino and Bonnie Winterbottom, an associate lawyer. As Season 1 introduces occasional clients for Keating, it explores two related murders through both flashback and flashforward sequences: Lila Stangard, mistress of Annalise's husband, a student at Middleton; and then Sam Keating, Annalise's husband, at the hands of Annalise's interns.

The first nine episodes alternate between the present-day timeline in medias res, depicting Wes, Connor, Michaela, and Laurel (The Keating 4) covering up Sam's murder by disposing of his body, and the flashbacks detailing the course of events leading up to Sam's death: Annalise becomes involved in the Lila Stangard investigation at Wes' urging, leading her to discover Sam's affair and creating suspicion that he killed Lila. The final six episodes explore Annalise's attempt to help her interns cover up Sam's murder and legally implicate Sam in Lila's death, and flashbacks to Lila's final moments before her murder.

Season 2

The first nine episodes focuses on Annalise's case of the Caleb and Catherine Hapstall, and their alleged involvement in the death of their adoptive parents. Wes in the meantime, teams up with Rebecca's foster brother to try and find Rebecca. Connor struggles with his relationship with Oliver, while Asher works with A.D.A. Emily Sinclair in order to protect his secrets. In the mid-season finale, Emily Sinclair is murdered, and Annalise helps cover it up, at the expense of her being shot in the stomach by Wes.

The second part of the season focuses on Wes' investigation around his mother's suicide ten years ago, and it is revealed from flashbacks how involved Annalise was with Wes' mother's suicide. The season ends with Annalise finding out that it was Frank that was responsible for her being in a car accident and losing her baby, and Annalise sends him away. Michaela and Asher hook up, and Wes meets up with his biological father right before his father is shot dead by an unknown shooter.

Season 3

The first nine episodes focuses on the aftermath of Wallace Mahoney's death, as well as a new mystery revolving around Annalise's house burning down and who was found dead inside. The events leading up to it involve Annalise starting a free legal clinic and struggling with alcoholism. Oliver starts working for Annalise, and he also leaves Connor when becoming disgusted with himself. Michaela and Asher's relationship starts to progress, as does Wes and Laurel's, and Frank starts working to repent for causing the death of Annalise's child. Ultimately, it's revealed that Wes died but was killed before the fire.

Production

Development

Shonda Rhimes is one of the executive producers of How to Get Away with Murder.

On August 19, 2013, ABC bought the original concept from Shondaland Productions, produced by Shonda Rhimes and Betsy Beers. The script for the pilot episode was written by Grey's Anatomy supervising producer Peter Nowalk.[25] ABC ordered the pilot on December 19, 2013.[26] On May 8, 2014, ABC picked up the pilot to series[27] for the 2014–15 television season.[28] At the Television Critics Association Press Tour in July 2014, it was announced that How to Get Away with Murder will be a limited series with only 15 or 16 episodes per season.[29] The smaller size of episode count stems from the deal for the series star Davis.[30] On October 9, 2014, ABC picked up the series for a full season of 15 episodes.[31]

The series was renewed for a second season on May 7, 2015, by ABC.[32] The show was effectively confirmed as earning a second-season renewal for the 2015-16 season via a promo succeeding the first-season finale and an earlier statement by Viola Davis also confirming the renewal at the close of shooting for the first season.[33][34] It would contain 15 episodes, like the previous season.[35] Production began on May 21, 2015, with Shonda Rhimes announcing on Twitter that Peter Nowalk and his writers were in full swing mapping the second season.[36] The table read for the premiere occurred on July 14, 2015,[37] with the title of the episode being revealed at the same time.[38] Entertainment Weekly reported on July 23, 2015, that the identity of Rebecca's killer would be revealed in the season premiere.[39] A promotional poster was released over a month before the season premiere, on August 17, 2015.

The series was renewed for a third season on March 3, 2016, along with several other shows by ABC.[40] It was announced that the third season will premiere on September 22, 2016.[41] Production began on May 27, 2016, when showrunner Peter Nowalk announced on Twitter that the writer staff were in full swing mapping and writing the third season.[42] The table read for the premiere happened on July 6, 2016,[43] with filming starting a week later.[44] A promotional poster showcasing Viola Davis as Annalise Keeting, was released on August 9, 2016.[45] ABC released a promo for the third season on August 29, 2016.[46]

Writing

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, showrunner Peter Nowalk talked about what will happen in the third season regarding Frank's disappearance he commented "Yes, I can see the three-piece suits and the hair product all falling apart. It’s more what Frank feels about himself". When talking about the trust between Annalise and Frank, Nowalk said that "...Frank has two choices: To run away and hope she never catches him, just to cut bait; or he can try to win his way back. That’s a long road."[47] Charlie Weber commented on Frank's whereabouts as he said to Entertainment Weekly "I think he’s hiding, and I think he’s alone. If he does have a lifeline, I don’t think it’s Laurel."[48]

Regarding Laurel, Nowalk said that Laurel's backstory with her family will be explored in the upcoming season, "I feel like it’s very present. The promise of our show is that we won’t dangle things out too long. The likelihood is yes. We’ve raised that question too many times not to answer it sooner than later." Michaela's backstory will also be explored as Nowalk said "We have so much to explore with her. Aja is so talented. I’m just excited to really delve into her personal life next year."[47] Talking to The Hollywood Reporter Nowalk said that the show will explore both Annalise and Nate's relationship and both their families.[49]

Reception

Critical reception

The first season of How to Get Away with Murder received positive reviews, with most praising Viola Davis' performance. On Rotten Tomatoes, it has a rating of 85%, based on 53 reviews, with an average rating of 7.1/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "How to Get Away with Murder isn't conceptually original, but it delivers thrills with melodramatic twists and a captivating lead."[66] Metacritic gave season one of the show a score of 68 out of 100, based on 30 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[67]

Mary McNamara from Los Angeles Times wrote about Viola Davis' performance: "...all eyes are on Davis, Tony winner and Oscar nominee. Magnetic and intimidating, Davis creates an implacable surface beneath which shimmers all manner of fleet and startled emotions. Desire and fear, certainty, self-doubt and resolve are conjured in an instant with the angle of a glance, the lowering of an eyelid and then released as if they were never there." [68] Entertainment Weekly's Melissa Maerz described Davis' performance as "powerfully layered." [69] David Hinckle, from New York Daily News, said that the series does not serve up enough fun unlike Rhimes' other shows, Grey's Anatomy and Scandal.[70] Frazier Moore, Associated Press, wrote that the show "promises to be twisty, wicked, dark and fun. And it stars Viola Davis, who brings life to a character of endless calculations and mystery." [71]

The second season also received positive reviews. Lesley Brock, Paste Magazine, praised the second season writing: "I would not put it past How to Get Away with Murder, which has turned all other ABC show plot lines upside down on their heads and shown that nothing is impossible, to throw incest into an already haphazard mix." Brock gave the season a score of 9 out of 10.[72] Kyle Anderson, Entertainment weekly, wrote that with Davis at the front the show can get away with anything.[73]
